Hiring Our Heroes: Tony Ho
Before being accepted to Cox’s Hiring Our Heroes program, Tony Ho spent six years of active duty as a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy.
Since 1898, Cox has stayed true to simple, but enduring values of honesty, integrity, leadership and community. How do we do that? By treating our employees as our most important resource, giving back to our communities and seizing new, innovative business opportunities. These qualities have made us one of the best workplaces for current and past military members.
So, whether you are a veteran, reservist, or military spouse, we believe you’ll recognize our values as some of the same values that attracted you to serve our country in the first place.
“An act of service for those who served.” With a grant from the James M. Cox Foundation and the leadership of members of Cox’s Salute ERG, active military members are now able to enjoy a new and improved USO Center at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Based on feedback from veterans in the workforce, Forbes has named Cox a Best Employer for Veterans.

The vast scope of our industries and locations means there’s opportunity for you to contribute and grow, and we’ll help you get there. At Cox, you’ll find:
It is empowering to work for a company that not only says “Thank you for your service”, but shows it every day because of their commitment to hiring Veterans for our skills that are not always recognized by the civilian world.
Often when we were training, I was able to help the other combat groups and form a bond with my fellow Devil Dogs. This same atmosphere can be found at Cox. They care about me, their customers, and they support positive events across the country.
Coming to work for such a diversified company was a natural fit because of the adaptive qualities one develops while serving in the military. These qualities, in the form of good followership, leadership, and always doing the right thing, will not only contribute to individual success but more importantly collective success.
